University of Tennessee December Commencement
When I graduated from college, many years ago, it wasn’t in May which is generally the time when most people graduate. Thanks to summer school sessions and various internships, I graduated in August. As the time frame from my actual graduation to beginning my first job was 
very short, it was important for me to graduate and receive my diploma in the most expeditious manner. I know that there are many college students who will be graduating in the next couple of weeks.
Students at the University of Tennessee will graduate on December 13th. The commencement ceremonies begin at 9:00 AM (EST) and will be held at Thompson-Boling Arena . Attendees are permitted to park for FREE in any of the student parking lots on campus; Click HERE for a map. There is a graduation rehearsal on December 12th at 1:00 PM (EST).
Please note that all financial obligations must be satisfied prior to graduation; this includes completing the exit interview if you have a University of Tennessee student loan or a Federal Perkins’ Student Loan. Be sure to contact the Registrar’s office with any questions:
